Pics of the NYCDash Carbon Fiber installed
Here are some pics of my NY City Dashes genuine Carbon Fiber (flat kit) interior. This was the full kit w/o logo (74 pieces). I opted not to use the large pieces that go over the passenger side airbags, it felt like too much, and looked like I just "stuck" somehting on the dash. I felt the same about the strips that are provided to go into the slot on each door... it looked sloppy and out of place.
It took about 2 hours or so (a few breaks snuck in there) and for the most part was pretty easy. I would suggest having someone there as an extra set of hands for the large pieces like the speedo surround area because it is very flexible, and as you are lining up one part, another misaligned part may adhere to the surface.
A quick before shot:
I had considered getting the simulated carbon fiber, but I figured it would look best as genuine, I'm glad I did that. I have had a hard time finding good quality pics of this install, so I hope I did this justice for anyone considering doing it. I am very happy, but I'm still not 100% sure it was really worth $300. If it were $200 or less I'd say it was a good value.
